Just spoke with the duplicators. They have our files and have now told me that we will have them Monday afternoon. So, Monday evening will be a busy night.

He also said that I can adjust the count as late as Thursday, 3pm (Eastern). So, all the orders that have been placed thus far are sure to get filled. In addition, we have ordered enough extra to cover new orders that may come in.

Thanks to everyone who has ordered. We are completely overwhelmed by the response. You will not be disappointed.


Regards,
Dave Schwartz

I misspoke. We have probably ordered enough excess to cover new orders after Thursday.

And I've got a freshman in college I have to take care of. I'm counting on you, Dave!

That's "HEAD" to Saratoga.

You guys are raising the bar pretty high on me. Is there anything else you'd like me to be responsible for? Lawn mowing? Car washing? Morning coffee?

LOL - Seriously, when I finished the part about using the Beyer numbers and saw how easy it really was to use, I realized how much you guys are going to enjoy this.

Dave, I know how to compute a horse's energy and that wasn’t my concern. What is of concern to me is how are you relating the horse’s energy to its speed in the form cycle. I agree that there is a definite relationship, but thus far it hasn’t be explained.

Actually, I doubt that you do it the same way I do.

As for the other question, the relationship "between" them has no meaning for me. I do not relate energy to speed. Energy is the metric we use to express how good or poor a performance was.

I think you are looking for a depth here that is unnecessary in the application of form cycle.

Of course, you may well see it differently. The issue is what works. I suggest that what I have demonstrated significantly clarifies the picture and is quite logical as well.


Those of you who come looking for a complex mathematical formula derived from hours of pouring over physics text books will be disappointed.

Those of you who come looking for a practical way to tell which horses are likely to run today and which are likely to run in relation to the field should be impressed.


And guess what? It picks a lot of favorites! What would anyone expect? A lot of "favorites" win races. But it also picks longshots.

There are two big advantages to this system:
1. It will tell you that some low-priced horses can be bet against with great expectation. I have seen horses as low as 2/5 as virtual throw outs.

2. It will tell you that some high-priced horses can be bet with great confidence.


What it does is give you a picture of the race showing your final contenders along with who among your non-contenders you need to be afraid of.

Dave,

I asked for an explanation which I didn’t get, but you seem to believe that I am looking for a theoretical textbook concept (which I am not). However I will explain my practical understanding of “energy” as it relates to a horse’s form cycle.

Practically speaking, a horse’s physical form cycle is energized by the following:

• Proper rest
• Proper diet
• Proper conditioning
• Proper medications

Therefore when those 4 variables are optimized you get optimal speed from the horse all other factors being equal and this can be clearly shown graphically and that is the practical relationship between speed and energy in a racehorse.

I realize that the horseplayer will not be privy to the conditioning of the racehorse, but a horse’s performance measurement (if it is properly race entered) over time will speak volumes about its form cycle.

So you have 4 unknowns and all other things are never equal.
Now what?
